* ACPI : Create "idle=nomwait" bootparamZhao Yakui2008-07-161-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "idle=nomwait" disables the use of the MWAIT instruction from both C1 (C1_FFH) and deeper (C2C3_FFH) C-states. When MWAIT is unavailable, the BIOS and OS generally negotiate to use the HALT instruction for C1, and use IO accesses for deeper C-states. This option is useful for power and performance comparisons, and also to work around BIOS bugs where broken MWAIT support is advertised. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10807 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10914 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Li Shaohua <shaohua.li@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
* ACPI: Create "idle=halt" bootparamZhao Yakui2008-07-161-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | "idle=halt" limits the idle loop to using the halt instruction. No MWAIT, no IO accesses, no C-states deeper than C1. If something is broken in the idle code, "idle=halt" is a less severe workaround than "idle=poll" which disables all power savings.

The old implementation schedules a timer interrupt for itself in the future by getting the current value of the Interval Timer Counter + 1000 cycles, waits for the interrupt to be pended, calls SAL_CACHE_FLUSH, and finally checks to see if the interrupt is still pending. This implementation can cause problems for virtual machine code if the process of scheduling the timer interrupt takes more than 1000 cycles; the virtual machine can end up sleeping for several hundred years while waiting for the ITC to wrap around. The fix is to use platform_send_ipi. The processor will still send an interrupt to itself, using the IA64_IPI_DM_INT delivery mode, which causes the IPI to look like an external interrupt. The rest of the SAL_CACHE_FLUSH + checking to see if the interrupt is still pending remains unchanged. This fix has been boot tested successfully on: - intel tiger2 - hp rx6600 - hp rx5670 The rx5670 has known buggy firmware, where SAL_CACHE_FLUSH drops pending interrupts. A boot test on this machine showed this message on the console: SAL: SAL_CACHE_FLUSH drops interrupts; PAL_CACHE_FLUSH will be used instead Which proves that the self-inflicted IPI approach is viable. And as expected, the other tested platforms correctly did not display the warning. Signed-off-by: Alex Chiang <achiang@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

| * [IA64] Workaround for RSE issueTony Luck2008-05-275-46/+125

Such faults may initiate a cascade of repeated illegal operation faults within OS interruption handlers. The specific behavior is OS dependent. Implication: An application causing an illegal operation fault with specific RSE state may result in a series of illegal operation faults and an eventual OS stack overflow condition. Workaround: OS interruption handlers that switch to kernel backing store implement a check for invalid RSE state to avoid the series of illegal operation faults. The core of the workaround is the RSE_WORKAROUND code sequence inserted into each invocation of the SAVE_MIN_WITH_COVER and SAVE_MIN_WITH_COVER_R19 macros. This sequence includes hard-coded constants that depend on the number of stacked physical registers being 96. The rest of this patch consists of code to disable this workaround should this not be the case (with the presumption that if a future Itanium processor increases the number of registers, it would also remove the need for this patch). Move the start of the RBS up to a mod32 boundary to avoid some corner cases. The dispatch_illegal_op_fault code outgrew the spot it was squatting in when built with this patch and CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y Move it out to the end of the ivt.

This is done because list are a very used primitive structure all over the kernel and it's currently impossible to include other header files in this list.h without creating some circular dependencies. For example, list.h implements rcu-protected list and uses rcu_dereference() without including rcupdate.h. It actually compiles because users of rcu_dereference() are macros. Others RCU functions could be used too but aren't probably because of this. Therefore this patch creates rculist.h which includes rcupdates without to many changes/troubles.

Then it tried to load the kernel module however it failed always and it used the default execution domain PER_LINUX instead. Requesting kernel modules is very expensive.

* [IA64] Don't reserve crashkernel memory > 4 GBBernhard Walle2008-05-141-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some IA64 machines map all cell-local memory above 4 GB (32 bit limit). However, in most cases, the kernel needs some memory below that limit that is DMA-capable. So in this machine configuration, the crashkernel will be reserved above 4 GB. For machines that use SWIOTLB implementation because they lack an I/O MMU the low memory is required by the SWIOTLB implementation. In that case, it doesn't make sense to reserve the crashkernel at all because it's unusable for kdump. A special case is the "hpzx1" machine vector. In theory, it has a I/O MMU, so it can be booted above 4 GB. However, in the kdump case that is not possible because of changeset 51b58e3e26ebfb8cd56825c4b396ed251f51dec9: On HP zx1 machines, the 'machvec=dig' parameter is needed for the kdump kernel to avoid problems with the HP sba iommu. The problem is that during the boot of the kdump kernel, the iommu is re-initialized, so in-flight DMA from improperly shutdown drivers causes an IOTLB miss which leads to an MCA. With kdump, the idea is to get into the kdump kernel with as little code as we can, so shutting down drivers properly is not an option. The workaround is to add 'machvec=dig' to the kdump kernel boot parameters. This makes the kdump kernel avoid using the sba iommu altogether, leaving the IOTLB intact. Any ongoing DMA falls harmlessly outside the kdump kernel. After the kdump kernel reboots, all devices will have been shutdown properly and DMA stopped. This patch pushes that functionality into the sba iommu initialization code, so that users won't have to find the obscure documentation telling them about 'machvec=dig'. This means that also for hpzx1 it's not possible to boot when all memory is above the 4 GB limit. So the only machine vectors that can handle this case are "sn2" and "uv".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Races galore... General rule: as soon as it's in descriptor table, it's over; another thread might have started IO on it/dup2() it elsewhere/dup2() something *over* it/etc. fd_install() is the very last step one should take - it's a point of no return. Besides, the damn thing leaked on failure exits... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
| * [IA64] TS_RESTORE_SIGMASKRoland McGrath2008-05-012-8/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK with TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK and define our own set_restore_sigmask() function. This saves the costly SMP-safe set_bit operation, which we do not need for the sigmask flag since TIF_SIGPENDING always has to be set too.

* | rename div64_64 to div64_u64Roman Zippel2008-05-011-2/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rename div64_64 to div64_u64 to make it consistent with the other divide functions, so it clearly includes the type of the divide. Move its definition to math64.h as currently no architecture overrides the generic implementation. They can still override it of course, but the duplicated declarations are avoided.
